It’s a long-awaited day for China. The navy now has its first aircraft carrier(航空母舰), Liaoning.

It’s a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor（过道）could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors（水手）is quite small. That’s because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck. For visitors, it’s so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions.

Also, you will be surprised by the high level of education of today’s sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailors are college graduates. Six hold Doctor’s Degrees and 45 have a Master’s. The whole team is young but vigorous（朝气蓬勃的）. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard(在船上).

1.Why do we visitors get lost easily inside the carrier?

A．Because they don’t have a map.

B．Because the living space is quite small.

C．Because there are too many corridors for rooms.

D．Because the corridor inside the carrier is too long.

2.What does the word “high” in Line 6 refer to（指代）？

A．The aircraft carrier is high since it is just like a small city.

B．Most of the soldiers received good education.

C．The expense（花费）to run a carrier is high.

D．The high-level of their training.

3.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Liaoning is our country’s first aircraft carrier.

B．Most of the sailors on the carrier are college graduates.

C．There are far fewer women sailors than men sailors on the carrier.

D．It is comfortable for the sailors to live in the carrier.

 

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test. ” he said. “And because I know you are all able to understand these questions. I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test. ’’
A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said. “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. ”Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper： Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.
I never had a teacher who gave a test like that. but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons. whether from school education or from events in their lives，and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight，80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However，there is nothing you can’t do or leant to be. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰)said，“We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves. ”
